Germany Considers Autobahn Speed Limit
Economists are suggesting a speed limit on German autobahns. This is to deal with high fuel prices caused by the war in Iran. Other measures have not been effective.
Veronika Grimm, an economist, believes a speed limit is a good solution. She thinks fuel subsidies and price caps are not working. Robert Habeck, Germany’s Economics Minister, also supports this idea. He says other countries are taking stronger action. Easter peace marches are happening across Germany at the same time.
